A fascinating carnival custom full of colorful figures and centuries-old symbolism: the Thaurer Mullerlaufen brings Tyrolean tradition to the streets in a unique way.
The Thaurer Mullerlaufen is a traditional carnival custom that only takes place every four to five years in the municipality of Thaur. The focus is on the so-called "Muller", who parade through the village with elaborately carved wooden masks, colorful costumes and set dance forms.
The individual figures symbolize winter and spring and represent the transition of the seasons. Accompanied by music and traditional rituals, the result is an impressive spectacle that is deeply rooted in Tyrolean folk culture. For visitors, the Mullerlaufen offers an authentic and rare insight into one of Tyrol's oldest customs.
